One pole down... three to go! If only new tips existed for my Radioshack soldering iron. Sounds like I need a new one, any advice? Need something that can reach in small places!



These are built closer to PRR specifications than prior poles, thanks to new information I dug up.

Like the poles on my 4x8, these are extra height to bring the signal and transmission lines over the "Hand Place" overpass, which is yet to be built.

Not all the details are installed, but these (grab irons, angle braces, insulators, etc) would be better off waiting until all the heavy soldering is done.



I did my homework, and planned everything out to scale before I started building anything. Luckily, both spans on this module are identical, and so I don't have to do to many variations.



With any luck, soon photos like this will be under wire! (can't help the background just yet though!)
